Those who enjoy hayrides, haunted houses, pumpkins and hot apple cider in the fall might want to check out Bonadeo Farms in Highland Township.

The venue, which opened this week, includes fun for families and adults alike.

"We've done a lot of work to create a nice place," said owner Ron Bonadeo. "It's a beautiful piece of property, and I think people will really enjoy what we've done out here."

The farm features hayrides with seating for about 25 people, as well as a 4-acre corn maze carved in the shape of a farm scene, including tractor and barn. Placards are posted throughout the maze to offer guidance to those who need it.

Of course, cider and doughnuts are also available. The doughnuts, said owner Bonadeo, are always fresh, and customers can watch as the sweet treats are made on-site. Cider is "100 percent pure," pasteurized for freshness with nothing added or artificial. Try it hot or cold. Apple cider slushies are great too, and hot cocoa, coffee and soft drinks are also available.

Pick-your-own pumpkins from the farms pumpkin patch are available in every shape and size, and handpicked apples are already washed and bagged.

Spooky stuff

The fun gets a little – or a lot – spookier on weekend nights when the haunted corn maze opens, and, organizers say, those who dare enter will be "scared out of their wits," and should bring along some brave friends.

Likewise with the haunted house. A spooky description on Bonadeo Farms website reads like this: "This building is often perceived as being inhabited by disembodied spirits of the deceased who may have been former residents or were familiar with the farm. Parapsychologists attribute haunting here to the spirits of the dead and the effect of violent or tragic events. Cold spots, creaking sounds, odd noises, and physical illusions will awake your senses. Caution - You may experience auditory hallucinations, fatigue, melancholy, and other symptoms while touring the haunted house."
